the one with no card!!

Nope, not one card at all! Just wanted to share with you all, some of the bits that I have been working on for the Christmas Fair at my parents church in a few weeks time
 
Desk Jotters: these gorgeous bulldog clips were a fantastic bargin from Staples - got a big bag of about 40 of them for £3!!!! Fancy squares are Go Kreate dies

Bookmarks: My hubby uses these giant paper clips for his work timesheets......well I just had to rescue some from his bag and make better use of them!

Mini notebooks: these were 18p from Wilkos, going to do a few more, and try and find similar of different sizes.

Pringle tin Santa pot: probably going to put candy canes and/or festive pencils in this - was quite pleased with the way this turned out, so will probably do a couple more.......this will involve more eating of the pringles though!!!!

Have also been working on the likes of Reindeer food and Reindeer poo - will add photos at a later date. I know some of you are doing bits like this at the moment, so hope you like these and if they have given any ideas and inspiration - all the better xx

another one with that stamp!

Hi all, hope everyone is fine and well. Thoughts and prayers go out to those of your on the east-coast of the USA, our news bulletins here are showing us the devestation caused by "sandy", but you cant begin to imagine what it must be like to be caught up in it all.
 
Anyway, its been a busy few days for me, with front room decorating, trips to the vet with Nippy (ear infection!), trip to the hospital for me (chest x-ray, for the cough that wont go away) catching up on housework, being a taxi service for my kids, but gladly a bit of crafting time too.....
 
This is one of the cards I have made over the last days or so, all much the same, so Im just blogging the one!
 
have once again, used this gorgeous LOTV stamp coloured with promarkers, with a touch of frosted lace stickles
paper was a freebie from Raspberry Road
Fremont Crest die from Memory Box
Snowflake die from Marianne
Washi tape from Helz Cuppleditch "special delivery"
green pearls from Meiflower.
 
I would like to enter this into these challenges:
nutcrafters - ribbon or twine (hope the washi tape counts as ribbon!)
 
Christmas cards aside I have also been working on some bits and bobs from a forthcoming Christmas Fair at my parents church, will be back later to share some with you!

The one that got a little "distressing"!!!!

 Hi all, hope you've had a smashing weekend, so its monday and time for another challenge with
THE CUTIE PIES
The theme this time filled me with horror at first (no, not Halloween), but becasue it was something that i've never really done before and I didnt want to let the team down,
the theme is: DISTRESS YOUR CARDS
and here is my DT card
 I made this card for my lovely hubby. When he received it, his initial reaction was "ok, how much have you spent this time!?!" (no idea what he was on about, lol)
Used a brown versamark ink and deckle edged scissors to get the distressing going on
LOTV image coloured with promarkers
own sentiment printed onto core'dinations whitewash card, which I also used elsewhere on the card.
papers, card candi, button and string from stash.

Day one of the hols, has gone well so far, just got back home from taking Nippy for a run around Rochester Castle and found a letter on the doormat from HMRC......YAY, got a little tax rebate (about 30 quid!) ooooh what to do with it!!
